Why would I call it that you may be asking yourself? Well because I went and violated one of my own rules and purchase someone's unfinished project! Reason being, I liked the color of the car, lol. I found her on craigslist with an m50 plopped in her and paid very little to be honest. The kid couldn't get the car to fire and had given up on it.
This is how I found her. Judging by the state of affairs the car was in when I found it I knew it was going to need some serious TLC. Just look at all those jumper boxes why not just get a battery?
After some trouble shooting with my trusty fluke 88 :up: cleaning up the wiring and spending a lot of time on R3v researching possible problems I determined it to be a bad DME. Found one on eBay and ordered it right away. Also had to buy a set of injectors because for some reason one was missing. No one was selling just on injector either, so now I have 5 injectors floating around. A few days later the "new" DME showed up and after plugging it in, a little bit of cranking and some patience she fired up and ran nice and smooth.
Safe and sound in my garage. No more jumper packs and random crap sitting in the engine bay.
I plan to turn it into a fun weekend driver and track car. I'll post more pictures as I go along but I'm sure its nothing you guys haven't seen before. I'll actually have more to post tomorrow, don't feel like uploading more photos to this stupid mac book right now.
